McQuaid Jesuit, commonly referred to as "McQuaid", or simply "McQ", is an all-male, Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory school located in Rochester, New York. Named after Bernard J. McQuaid, the first bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, McQuaid is located at 1800 Clinton Avenue South, in the suburb of Brighton. ==History== McQuaid Jesuit was founded in 1954 when James E. Kearney, the fifth bishop of Rochester, invited members of the New York Province of the Society of a Jesus to open a high school for boys. McQuaid Jesuit was first established in downtown Rochester, with an initial class of 129 students. The school was housed in a temporary site located in the former Saint Andrew's Seminary while the 33-acre Brighton campus was being built. The first class, the Class of 1958, moved to the new campus as sophomores in September of 1955 where they were joined by a new class of freshmen, the Class of 1959. In 1967, the school added an eighth grade; in 1993 a seventh grade; and in 2012 a sixth grade. There are currently 930 students at McQuaid Jesuit, with approximately 300 in the middle school and 630 in the high school. While the school campus is located in the Town of Brighton, it is geographically proximate to the City of Rochester and therefore enjoys the benefits of a suburban campus with access to the cultural, commercial, and other resources of the city. Some recent facility upgrades include a Fitness Center (2015), security enhanced front entrance (2014), six all-purpose, high-tech classrooms (2012), a new Jesuit community building (2012), renovated cafeteria and new kitchen (2012), outdoor sports complex (2010), indoor sports complex (2007), chapel renovation (2005), and arts wing (2001). Plans are currently underway to construct a state-of-the-art STEM Center, as well as student activity spaces. The "IgKnight the Future Fund" will support these, as well as an initiative to enhance the school's endowment. While the student population is predominantly Catholic, there are approximately twenty other faith traditions represented. Students come to McQuaid Jesuit from forty-two different school districts throughout the greater Rochester, NY, area. As a college-preparatory school, approximately 99% of the McQuaid Jesuit student body go on to colleges and universities located throughout the United States and Canada. Altogether, more than 8,000 men are part of the McQuaid Jesuit alumni community, pursuing interests in business, arts, the church, education, government, medicine, and non-profits, among many others. McQuaid Jesuit has been in continual operation for over sixty years, and continues today as Rochester's Jesuit, Catholic, college preparatory school.〔(History )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McQuaid Jesuit High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
